Valerie Elliot Shepard: Building with Grace Though You’re Not Perfect

Preach the gospel to yourself. Every day. Wise words from the woman who lost her daddy to the murderous savages he was trying to preach the gospel to, and who was taken by her mother to live with those savages. The gospel transformed that tribe of Aucas (meaning "fierce") to a truth-seeking tribe of peaceful believers.

And the gospel still has the power to change every savage lie we hear replayed in our own minds daily. You'll be blessed by this wise woman, Valerie Elliot Shepard. May her tribe increase!
